House - Laughton Round Up

Friday @ #1 Carleton

BU          15    15    15    14  -  59
CU          28    17    25    25  -  95

Rarely does Carleton get out rebounded and they are a supreme offensive rebounding team. We pretty much got dismantled with just that aspect of the game. Our 27 turnovers did not help either. They converted offensive rebounds and turnovers into points greater than the margin of victory. That was the was the game. On the positive front we were decent in defensively in the half court and our defensive transition was much improved over last week.

Joany, House-Laughton All Star

Joany led us in scoring with 18 points. He was also named a tournament all star. Kasey had 10 points off the bench. Abdul had a great start scoring 8 points in the first 7 minutes before he went out with a pretty good charley horse when he got took a knee to his thigh. Not sure it would have the difference between winning our losing, but we would have been more competitive.





Saturday vs. #9 Acadia

BU          22    13    19    13  -  67
AU          29    13    25     8   -  75

3rd Yr Forward, Yassin Naji

This was our 4th game in a row vs. a team that is ranked in the top 10 nationally.  With the exception of a few mistakes following the game plan we were much better defensively. When we did make mistakes we paid a price though as their All Canadian post player went off for 31 points. When you are playing top teams the margin for error is very small and playing hard does not make up for not following a scouting report.

After being down 15 early in the 4th quarter we went on a run and cut the lead to 3 with about 3 minutes to go. Unfortunately we could never overtake Acadia.

Yassin & Harvey Matou each had 14 points. Joany had 13 points  while Dave added 12.

Our next game is Friday at home vs. Wilfred Laurier at 6 pm. Laurier has had some mixed results including a double OT loss to Laval.

In other program news, we received news that last season's team MVP, Jona Bermillo, has signed a pro contract to play in China. Very happy for him and really excited he will have the opportunity to start a professional basketball career. Could not happen to a better guy!

I will keep you posted,
